A real candid look into the minds of a few extraordinary men who have travelled further than anyone other human being who have ever lived on this planet. Hopefully, since journeying to the moon, this is a wake up call for planet Earth for humans to realize how lucky we our to live on this great planet called Earth, but also we must continue exploring the vastness of Space including Mars and other bodies in our Universe as soon as possible.

Is very common to get used to big things and, after many years, we consider them unimpressive. Just like Colon first trips crossing Atlantic Ocean in a nut shell.As impressive as that is space travel; this documentary is about sending people to space and bring them back. In first person astronauts feelings.

In the shadow of the moon is a great documentary from the point of view of the men who landed on the moon and the different steps they undertook to achieve it. It is interesting and captivating from the beginning to the end.knowing that they have been the only men to ever land on the moon their testimony is a must.

Director David Sington has made a movie that is romantic about the space program and about the United States that is infectious in its zeal. In an age when we don't have an active space program, this movie is a beautiful way to capture the imaginations of people, the same way the original Apollo programs did. With interviews with astronauts themselves and an amazing amount of primary footage, Sington is able to tell the story in a way that is engaging and often moving.

A fascinating insight into the minds of the twelve men who've stood on the Moon and looked upon the Earth, and the effect that that experience had on them. A generous tribute to the efforts of the United States, honest in its assessment of the deaths of astronauts, and featuring some remarkable footage. There is even a nod in the direction of the conspiracy theorists. A rare piece of film and one well worth seeing.

A very solid doc covering the Apollo space program through archival footage of the mission and through interviews/narratives from the surviving members as to their experiences. The central focus again is with Apollo 1 where the pilots unfortunately passed in terms of an accidental spark fire, and then Apollo 11 who were the first successful landing. Great cinematorgraphy and introduces some new footage that I was personally unfamilar with from the voyage. Would be cool to see in a large format cinema similar to the Cinesphere to really showcase the landing sequences. Could use a little more information about the technicians who built the crafts but otherwise extremely engaging and thrilling.

Compelling chronicle on the processes leading up to the events of the first man on the moon. The film discusses the attempts to shuttle people up into space (although that was after the rockets were tested and a number of them failed to even lift off, thankfully not resulting in fatalities) during the late 1960's and early 1970's, which included several moon landings. Those telling their stories of being sent to the moon include Al Bean, Michael Collins, Buzz Aldrin and about five other crew members. I think that is a well-made documentary on the space age and landing on the orbiting body that circles the Earth, although I am sort hyped up on the suspicions that the moonwalking was real. I have some hesitation on the situation and I found it really fascinating how at the end, the astronauts made it clear that all the conspiracies are false (at least they had the bravery to face the issue). It is certainly Americana, but it always nice to watch movies that have to do with outer space, at least that's how I see it.

A fine documentary which proves there are no gimmicks needed to tell the epic story of mankinds greatest ever endeavour. The NASA footage is jaw-dropping, and the benevolence of those ecstatic few who once hid the Earth with their thumbs jumps off the screen.
